I've been waiting in the shadows for the day to come
When the sun would shine down in the town where I was born
And I stood there by the roadside waiting
For the paranoia to come and stay
Didn't realize its a game I'm playing
And I can't seem to get out or go my own way.
D'you think you can help me?
D'you think you can make it fade away?
D'you think you can help me?
If you can't man I don't wanna hear it
Cause they say, yeah they say, it don't matter at all
Yeah they say, yeah they say, I'll be here through it all
But you know, yeah you know, it don't matter at all
And you gotta stand now cause you can't seem to fall
Yeah they say, yeah they say, go and be where there's life
Yet they say, but they say, you've got it all inside.
The shadows have gone but I'm still waiting by the roadside day by day
For a time you were there, but life ain't fair
As I saw you slowly slipping away
Now I'm all alone on the midnight train
Still stuck up in the game I was playing
Still haven't got out, or found my own way.
So think you can help me?
So think you can make it fade away?
So think you can help me?
If you can't man I don't wanna hear it.
Cause they say, yeah they say, it don't matter at all
Yeah they say, yeah they say, I'll be here through it all
But you know, yeah you know, it don't matter at all
And you gotta stand now cause you can't seem to fall
Yeah they say, yeah they say, go and be where there's life
But you know, yeah you know, you've got it all inside.
